Default Vanity plate
Thinking about getting a vanity plate. The car is a yellow 68 coupe with a nom 454 (obviously) although to the un initiated the cars' badges show it is a 427. It is also a 4 speed.

My two favorite choices right now are:
68 Rat
&
CYA L8R

what do you think?

There are over 5800 Vanity plates from Registered users sorted by state on a list. Do a search for it.
Search other states for ideas for your own car.

Makes it that much easier to remember...lol
Also- Most states Classic car plates can also be personalized for an even additional fee...

Of those two, "68 RAT" would be better IMO. You may have to go with "68 RATT", because RAT is an actual word.

The vanity plate on my 68 reads "RAT 427". Alot of people don't understand it. Car guys do.

My '72 454 vert is Miglia for the Millie Miglia Red paint. But also for Miglia the gorilla.
